Abstract
A lamp assembly includes a base and a post extending from the base. A socket is connected to a top of the post and has an aperture. A control member and a pull switch are received in the socket and connected to each other. An electrical cable is connected to the control member via the base and the post. A bulb frame is connected to the socket and a first connection wire connected between the control member and the bulb frame. A second connection wire is connected between the pull switch and the bulb frame. A chain is connected to the pull switch and extends through the aperture of the socket. The control member is activated by touching the chain.
Description
- The present invention relates to a lamp assembly that has a control member connected to a pull switch and a chain. The control member is activated either by pulling the chain or touch the chain.
- A conventional lamp assembly is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and generally includes a
base 1 with apost 11 extending therefrom and asocket 21 is connected to a top of thepost 11. Anelectrical cable 5 extends through thepost 11 and is connected to apull switch 3 and abulb frame 22 respectively by twowires connection wire 6 is connected between thebulb frame 22 and thepull switch 3. Achain 31 is connected to thepull switch 3 and extends through anaperture 24 of thesocket 21. Thebulb frame 22 has aninsertion portion 221 which is inserted in thesocket 21 and aflange 222 extends from thebulb frame 22 and is rested on a top edge of thesocket 21. Apositioning member 23 has an inner threadedperiphery 232 which is threadedly connected to an outer threaded periphery of thesocket 21 so as to position thebulb frame 22. A bulb 4 is then connected to thebulb frame 22. - The conventional pull switch is activated by pulling the
chain 31 and the interior parts of the switch are easily to be worn out due to frequent operations and thechain 31 could be broken. - The present invention relates to a lamp assembly which comprises a base with a post extending from the base and a socket is connected to a top of the post so as to be connected to a bulb frame thereto. An aperture is defined through the socket in which a control member and a pull switch are respectively received. An electrical cable is connected to the control member and a first connection wire is connected between the control member and the bulb frame. A second connection wire is connected between the pull switch and the bulb frame.
- A chain is connected to the pull switch and extends through the aperture of the socket. The control member is activated by either pulling the chain or touching the chain.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a lamp assembly wherein the bulb of the lamp assembly is controlled by a control member which can be activated by either pulling the chain or touching the chain.
- The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded view to show a conventional lamp assembly;
- FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view to show conventional lamp assembly;
- FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view to show the lamp assembly of the present invention, and
- FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view to show that the chain is replaced with a cord.
- Referring to FIG. 3, the lamp assembly of the present invention comprises a
base 1 and apost 11 extending from thebase 1. Asocket 21 is connected to a top of thepost 11 and has anaperture 24 defined through the wall of thesocket 21. An outer threadedperiphery 211 is defined in an outer periphery of thesocket 21. - A
control member 7 is received in thesocket 21 and apull switch 3 is connected to thecontrol member 7. Anelectrical cable 5 extends through thebase 1 and is located in thesocket 21. - A
bulb frame 22 has aninsertion portion 221 which is inserted in thesocket 21 and aflange 222 extends from thebulb frame 22 and is rested on a top edge of thesocket 21. A bulb 4 is connected to thebulb frame 22. Apositioning member 23 has an inner threadedperiphery 232 which is threadedly connected to the outer threaded periphery of thesocket 21. A position flange 231 extends inward from an inner periphery of the top of thepositioning member 23 so that thebulb frame 22 is positioned by the position flange 231. - A
first connection wire 8 is connected between thecontrol member 7 and thebulb frame 22, and asecond connection wire 80 is connected between thepull switch 3 and thebulb frame 22. - A
chain 31 is connected to thepull switch 3 and extends through theaperture 24 of thesocket 21. Thecontrol member 7 is activated either by touching thechain 31 or pulling thechain 31. - As shown in FIG. 4, the
chain 31 can be replaced with acord 32 which is able to perform the same function as thechain 31. - While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
